The mission of West Oakland Middle School is to close the
achievement gap in Oakland. To make a positive difference
in the lives of young people, we offer engaging and rigorous
instruction and build strong relationships between parents,
staff, students, and community. At West Oakland Middle
we are dedicated to developing leaders, who will create
a more positive, compassionate, and giving society and
community. West Oakland Middle aims to be a safe,
dynamic, and motivating place where students develop the
creative problem-solving skills, knowledge, and habits of
mind to become strong, confident leaders and mentors for
their community. We will use multidisciplinary, hands-on
learning to reach the needs of all our kids while exposing
our students to the vast wealth of experiential learning
that is thriving in our community. Opportunities for parents
and families to participate abound through all grades and
parts of our school. Some of our key components are:
Multiple types of learning and assessments (expeditions, oral
presentation, teacher-made assessments), cross-curriculum
learning, extended learning opportunities, focus on math
and science through writing, interactive technology through
Promethean Boards, and Technology Academy for families
and community members.
